Form Of Art Karl Marx
1,664 words... Acting this way, women would turn out to be independent decision makers and will be treated as persons. Wollstonecraft's arguments are relatively straightforward. No new interpretation of the notion of a right is needed to recognize that if rational agents deserve the rights intrinsic to autonomy, women must deserve those rights. The problem in Wollstonecraft's case is to convince others to act and reason in a manner consistent with their own stated principles. In the case of the Islamic or ...

Slipping virtually unnoticed into a world where the culture industry churned out products that, as Adorno would later observe, looked more like advertisements for books than actual books (Adorno, 1992, p. 20), the strange volume that Horkheimer and Adorno passed on to their colleagues was one of those books that could no longer be one.

Postmodern Spatial Ity Represses Temporal Ity Space
4,978 wordsThe impetus behind this paper has been the recent publication of Fredric Jameson's 1991 Welleck Lectures, The Seeds of Time. 1 As these lectures were delivered a decade after Jameson's initial attempts to map the terrain of postmodernity it appeared to me to provide an occasion to reflect upon the current status of Jameson's highly influential and much criticised theory of postmodernism as the cultural logic of late capitalism. It also enables me to return to, what I consider to be, one of the m...
